Well, that's pretty much the whole problem, your perception has shown you to have what you accuse me of. You don't have an arguement to stand on, so you revert to name calling... It's the typical behaviour of a person who has limited mental capacity. You are obviously having these reactionary emotional hissy fits after hearing the news that your delusional sense of entitlement and gun nuttery is being slowly clamped down on.

I'm glad the US is starting to pull their heads out of the sand, but there will always be a few ostriches.

The NRA attacks freedom and has already attacked the First Amendment. Among other things it has done:

*Sponsored a law in FL limiting what doctors could ask patients. The federal court struck it down.

*Got a law passed in IN which means employers cannot bar guns from their parking lots. Less freedom for them.

*Blocked identifiers in explosive materials. Taggants (which don't involve firearms) would allow the ATF to trace the manufacture of bombs. The NRA fought against them.

I don't know if I support gun control or not. But I definitely don't support the NRA.

All I know is America would not exist, had the peasantry not been nearly as well armed as the Brittish Army.

You never know when you will have to over throw a tyrant. But when a rebellion comes, you better be armed to the teeth.

I always like to remember that WWII would not have lasted 15" longer if each person in Japan were armed to the teeth.

Meh, they were getting A-bombed one way or another.

NRA supporters are a bunch of uneducated hicks.

but where do you think all these illegal firearms came from? they were legally purchased fire arms at one point or another, its not like the gangbangers are getting their guns by robbing the gun companies or army depot.
